Transition is considered to be an adjustment over time to new contexts outside the family, where children experience changes to their social environment, to their routines, to what is expected of them and to the relationships they have with others in new situations. 

Through transition, it is our aspiration to promote a sense of belonging in St Mary's by providing your child with their entitlement to continuity of learning in a caring and respectful environment which reflects our vision and values.  

Our children transition in to St Mary's from a number of local authority and partnership Early Learning and Childcare Centres.

Almost all  of our  Primary 7 pupils transition to the local secondary school - St Peter the Apostle High School.
